Chapter 182: Helping the Demon Emperor Chase a Woman

This is the most menial of tasks, usually done by the lowest-ranking servants.

Making the dignified Heilong and the Flood Dragon do such a thing is simply more unbearable than killing them!

Heilong and the Flood Dragon turned deathly pale, as if a bolt of lightning had struck them on the head.

They had originally thought they would at most be demoted or have their salaries docked.

Never did they expect to have to do such a shameful and embarrassing thing!

"What, you are unwilling?"

The Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes.

Heilong and the Flood Dragon trembled all over and hurriedly kowtowed, saying, "Willing! Willing! We are willing!"

"That is good."

The Demon Emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Remember, if the fertilizing is not done well, I will hold you accountable!"

Heilong and the Flood Dragon wore mournful expressions as they received the order and left.

Watching their dejected appearance, Zhang Yi could not help but snicker.

He had long found these two fellows an eyesore; now that he could make them suffer a bit, it could be considered venting his pent-up anger.

The Demon Emperor had finally resolved these annoying matters.

He let out a sigh of relief and looked toward the direction where Nudi had been drinking just a moment ago.

However, he discovered that Nudi had already left at some unknown time.

Perhaps Nudi felt she had been too spineless, and so she left.

The Demon Emperor's mood instantly plummeted to the bottom.

He could not feel happy at all anymore.

Zhang Yi looked at the Demon Emperor's lonely back and sighed inwardly.

This Demon Emperor, with his overwhelming power and rule over ten thousand demons, had in the end fallen into the hands of a woman.

This matter of love really does people a great disservice.

However, what did that have to do with him, Zhang Yi?

He only cared about eating and drinking well and living a carefree life; he was too lazy to bother with these idle matters.

Especially regarding Nudi; that little girl had a strange temper and flipped her face faster than turning a page, so he dared not provoke her.

Who knew, just as he wanted to grease his heels and slip away, the Demon Emperor suddenly turned around and called out to him, "Brother Zhang, wait!"

Zhang Yi's heart skipped a beat, but his face was piled with smiles: "Does Your Majesty have any further instructions?"

The Demon Emperor walked to his side and whispered mysteriously, "Brother Zhang, look, I... I would like to ask you for a favor."

When Zhang Yi heard this, his scalp went numb.

This Demon Emperor, he wouldn't want him to go and persuade Nudi to change her mind, would he?

He did not have the guts for that!

Before he could open his mouth to refuse, the Demon Emperor continued, "Brother Zhang, you also know my feelings for... for Nudi..."

Zhang Yi's vision went black, as if he saw Nudi's baring-fangs-and-brandishing-claws, hideous and terrifying face, issuing threats at him.

He waved his hands in terror: "Your Majesty, this... this chasing women, I am not good at it!"

The Demon Emperor grabbed his arm and said earnestly, "Brother Zhang, you have great divine powers, you can catch thieves and handle the old turtle, how could you not be able to chase a woman? Help me!"

Looking at the Demon Emperor's pitiful appearance, Zhang Yi really could not bear to refuse.

He sighed and said, "Alright, Your Majesty, I... I will try, but I cannot guarantee that I will definitely succeed."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor immediately beamed with joy: "Then many thanks, Brother Zhang! As long as the matter is accomplished, I will reward you heavily!"

Zhang Yi left Yao Di Fu with a bitter smile.

He had to hurry and find his mother to discuss a strategy; this Nudi was not so easy to hoodwink.

Upon returning home, Zhang Yi went straight to the Jubiao mother's room.

"Mother, something terrible has happened!"

Zhang Yi started shouting as soon as he entered the door.

The Jubiao mother was leisurely cracking melon seeds, glanced at him, and said, "What are you shouting about? Has the sky fallen?"

"It's more serious than the sky falling!"

Zhang Yi complained with tears and snot, "That fellow, the Demon Emperor, actually wants me to help him chase Nudi!"

When the Jubiao mother heard this, she stopped cracking seeds and sat up straight: "Oh? He asked you for help? What benefits did he give you?"

Zhang Yi was speechless: "Mother, if your daughter were to marry the Demon Emperor, this entire Yao Di Fu would be yours, what other benefits do you need?"

The Jubiao mother smiled: "That is true, but the few spirit fruits he gave us before were stolen by people from his Yao Di Fu; this time, shouldn't he give us more benefits?"

Zhang Yi rolled his eyes: "Mother, you really know how to take advantage of a crisis!"

The Jubiao mother patted his shoulder and said, "Son, don't worry, Mother will help you. When it comes to chasing women, Mother is an expert."

Thus, under the "guidance" of the Jubiao mother, Zhang Yi began his "Chase Nudi" plan.

First, Zhang Yi decided to cater to her preferences and send Nudi some things she liked.

He knew Nudi liked to collect all kinds of rare treasures, so he ran all over the major mountain peaks and scoured a pile of strange and curious items.

Things like Night Pearls, thousand-year spirit mushrooms, and ten-thousand-year ginseng—everything was there.

He excitedly brought these treasures to find Nudi.

As it turned out, Nudi was staying in her room alone to cultivate and refused to open the door.

Zhang Yi would not give up; he took out a sparkling Night Pearl and shook it back and forth outside the door.

"Little sister, can I disturb you for just a little while?"

Sure enough, Nudi opened her eyes, saw the bright light emitted by the large pearl outside the door, and spoke directly.

"Fine, come in."

Zhang Yi was overjoyed and hurriedly pushed the door open to walk inside.

Seeing Zhang Yi, Nudi did not even lift her head and said, "What is it?"

Zhang Yi took out the gift he had prepared as if presenting a treasure.

"Take a look at what these things are! These were all brought for you by the Demon Emperor! Quickly take a look, do you like them?"

Nudi finally lifted her head, glanced at those gifts, and a trace of a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"You want to please me with just these pieces of junk? Aren't you underestimating me a bit too much?"

Zhang Yi was instantly dumbfounded.

This... what is this situation?

How did the gifts he had meticulously prepared become pieces of junk?

Zhang Yi put on a smiling face, rubbed his hands together, and said cautiously, "Sister, actually the Demon Emperor is... not bad, he has strong abilities and isn't very calculating..."

Nudi shot him a sidelong glance and interrupted directly, "Not calculating? That's why he's always being cheated by his close confidants, right?"

Zhang Yi was choked to the point that he almost couldn't catch his breath.

He smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

This Nudi, every word she says is truly heart-piercing!

Nudi did not look at him again, but instead toyed with the jade bracelet in her hand.

She said nonchalantly, "Tell him to prepare some things for us as soon as possible, food, drink, and supplies; it is time for us to set off for the Taiyang Shendian."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi could only sigh; this Nudi is truly persistent!

He earnestly tried to persuade her, "Sister, that Taiyang Shendian is nothing more than a myth about the Jinwu, it cannot be taken as true! You... you don't have to go."

Nudi raised an eyebrow and stared at him with a sharp gaze: "Don't think I don't know what you're planning!"

"The Divine Power of the Taiyang Shendian is extremely strong; you're just afraid that I will compete with you for the resources there, right?"

Zhang Yi was between laughter and tears; what on earth is going on in this Nudi's head!

He explained helplessly, "Sister, heaven and earth are my witness, I don't even know if the Taiyang Shendian exists, for you to say such distant words really makes me sad!"
